Turtles in the tub
Bucket lids for lily pads
The cat thinks, "How odd!"
Explanation: My husband Mark was concerned that Kermit and Miss Piggy were not getting enough exercise during the winter. Their indoor tanks did not allow enough room for them to do full swimming laps. He started putting them in the bathtub for weekly swims. Home Depot lids were stand-ins for lily pads.
In this picture, shy Kermit is on the left. He is partially hiding under his orange Home Depot lid lily pad. The larger and bolder Miss Piggy is on the right. The white on her shell is from her turtle shell conditioner. It's like Oil of Olay for turtles.
Here is a picture of Kermit hiding under his orange plastic lily pad.
I don't have a picture of our cat Sasha looking at the turtles, but their splashing attracts her attention. After Mark spends quality time with the turtles, she wants her share of affection. This is her "pet me" look.
The turtles will soon return to their outdoor tank, but I will miss tub time for the turtles.
Bonus for me: Mark cleans the tub thoroughly after their swim.
